Our Community

Beachlands School is part of a small community with a big heart. About 3000 people live in Beachlands, known as "the marine garden suburb" and located on the beautiful Pohutukawa Coast.

Two minutes from the school is a small town centre with a wide range of retail outlets, ATM cash machine, the Beachlands Chartered Club, medical practice and community constable's office. The community is well served by a variety of organisations including Plunket (with Plunket rooms), a Playcentre located in the Beachlands School grounds, Physiotherapists, library, Red Cross, First Response Team (for medical emergencies), sea rescue and volunteer fire service.

Our beautiful coastal resources include Sunkist Bay Beach, two minutes from the town centre, complete with boat ramp affording easy access to the Hauraki Gulf. Close by is Shelly Bay with its spectacular pohutukawas and outlook over the Gulf and Waiheke Island.
